Homework: Homework will be due roughly every 1.5 weeks.
Doing problems and talking about the
material are both essential for learning the material in this course,
so you are encouraged to discuss
the problems with classmates and with me.
But you must write up the solutions on your own and must not
look at other students' written solutions nor should you attempt to
find solutions to problems online or in textbooks.
Your solutions should be clear and carefully written and
you should give credit to
those who helped you and to any references you used.
Homework will be graded based on both correctness and clarity.
Late problem sets will not be accepted unless arranged in advance
for a good reason.

Copying solutions from other students, online sources,
textbooks, etc., or showing your work to other students
constitutes a scholastic offense and will result
in a grade of negative 100% for the assignment and in some cases
expulsion from the program.
All academic offenses are added to your student record.

Presentations: In the second half of the semester,
each student will give a presentation on a topic related to the
course.

Exam: The final exam will be on Monday, July 25,
from 1 to 4pm, in MC107.

Evaluation: Evaluation will be based upon homework,
presentations and the final exam, with equal weight.
